Sir Isaac Newton was a famous scientist who invented the Universal Law of Gravitation in 1687. His law of gravity describes the force amongst every object that contains mass. Newton devised his idea of the law of gravity when he observed an apple fall from a tree. This then lead him speculating about whether the same force that was upheld by the apple was also maintained by the moon. Sir Isaac Newton then reached to the discovery that both the apple and the moon were motivated by the force of gravity
